Suspended Account

Hello,

 

We are agency and we had an account with upwork since many years. We were busy with the other work. Since last few years we were not accepting the freelancing work due to business contracts.

Now we want to start with the freelancing work again. When i login to my account i see a message "Your account has been suspended". We alreay have work history on upwork. Can someone help me to get the account active.

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards,

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

In that case, you will have received a support ticket with an email notification about the action on your account. Please refer to your ticket here and reply to the email if you have any questions for the team.

I posted my first job post on upwork 

I received a congratulations on my account. 

And now my upwork account is suspended. 

So what happened between #2 and #3?

Hi Mark,

 

I checked and it looks like our team has sent you an email notifying you of the situation. Could you please reply directly to that email so our team can review and assist you accordingly?

Hello, I haven't logged into my upwork account for 1 month to complete other works. When I log in today, I get the warning "Your access to Upwork has been restricted". When I entered the support page, I could not see the new support request creation page, as if it was removed. Can you help me please ?

Hi Ahmet,

then can you give an an answer to these question if possible ?
1- how long does it need Upwork team to solve this! it already been 6 days?

2- about the money that was cutoff from my account! is that money in Upwork possittion now? or it is returnet to the scummer client?
3- My main concern is not the money more than the account it self as I am working there in a full time job, so what would be the status of that! as I dont want to work for another month and the money is taken off from me or the account is prementlly suspended!

 

Hi Hopa,

 

Apologies for the delay as our support teams are currently experiencing a higher number of contacts than usual. Rest assured the team will address your concerns and questions in the ticket as soon as possible.

I'm using a neighbors account because i cant even use this community forum using my account. Upwork suspended my account and i want to withdrawal my available balance. Why do they have to remain with my money yet they have suspended my account? I cant do anything,  even withdrawing the available balance. I cant manage to raise the refund they want. Because the client is requesting for the work i already provided. she has the work, she is using my work and yet she is asking for a refund.  We started the work earlier this year and she has been approving the payments. I cant manage to refund $5850.. I cant get that money. I just want my available balance because they have already suspended the account. They said they can only reply after issuing the refund. So they cant even reply to my messages. What of my balance? Any help?

My account was suddenly suspended.

They asked verification, so I did it, but not activated yet. When I click the ticket link, it redirects to the jobs page.

Hi Mohd,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please refer to the support ticket you received on your other account so that our team can assist you further.

 

Please know that freelancers are not allowed to have more than one account on Upwork, regardless of the old account being closed, or suspended. Having multiple freelancer accounts is a serious violation of the Upwork Terms of Service.

Hi Pauline,

 

Thank you for your message. I checked and noticed that the restrictions were placed due to failed billing method. I see that you have already updated your billing method and the account has been already restored now.

 

Thank you,

Simply put when I make an account and a job post, the next day my account gets suspended. I emailed and tried to fix the issue and understand why my account got suspended and what can be done to lift the suspension. Then a lot of the time they say login to talk to someone about it but I can't login cause my account is SUSPENDED. Can someone please help me?

What kind of job are you posted? Maybe some rules violation there.

It was nothing bad, just some youtube marketing stuff

HI Shah,

 

I checked but don't see any limitations on your account at the moment. Are you referring to a different account? If so, could you please click on my name above this post and send me a private message with more information? Thank you!

Hi Moheen, 

Since this is already being handled by another team, it would be best to continue communicating with them regarding your account concern. Please know that if you respond to a ticket, it will go to the team's queue automatically. The team will reach out to you once they get to your ticket in the queue.

Hello, my account got suspended 9 days ago without any notice. I'm contacting the support every day, no-one ever got back to me. This is ridiculous, since I wanted to start hiring. Here is my support ticket https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/requests/36903209?page=1 can someone look into it? Again, 9 days seems to be a bit ridiculous.

Hi Tomas, 


It looks like your account has already been reinstated. Since you no longer need this account where you are posting from, please close the account by following the steps here.

Let us know if we can further assist you with anything.
